My two favorite TV Shows for Kids are Sesame Street and Sid the Science Kid.  I watch them with my grandson.  We both like the pace, the music, the characters and the education.  I feel happy when I watch these shows because they embody the essential values of education that I strive to uphold.  These shows don’t talk down to kids in order to connect with them.  They also are clear and fun.  Both Sesame Street and Sid the Science Kid teach in interesting ways: dramatically, musically, artistically. They are multi-cultural.  I don’t know the creators, but I can picture them sitting around tables and seriously discussing what to teach, why to teach it, and how to get it across to reach their audience.  I’m sure there are other TV shows that are equally good, but I haven’t found them … yet.
